Americans will get their first glimpse into the Republican Party’s 2016 presidential candidates Thursday night, as 10 GOP candidates participate in the party’s first major debate, which will air during prime time on Fox from Cleveland, according to CNN.
Whether or not Americans watch the debates, 7 out of 10 will talk to their parents about politics, according to a new report this week on 2014 data from the Pew Research Center.
Women are more likely than men to name their parents as some of the people they most often talk to about politics, Pew reported.

“It turns out that women are more likely than men to say their conversations about politics are most often with a parent or child, while men are more likely than women to rely on people outside the family,” according to Pew.
Pew also reported that 18- to 29-year-olds are more likely than any other age group to talk with their parents about politics.
Take a look at the chart below to see the rest of the breakdown by age group.
Meanwhile, men are more likely to talk to someone outside the family about politics, according to Pew.
